Privacy Policy
We take data protection very seriously. This is of course reflected in our handling of personal data. This policy provides
information about which information and data is collected and evaluated by Icontel AG, for what purpose this information
is used and with whom it is exchanged. When handling your data, Icontel AG complies with the applicable legislation - in
particular the EU Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) and Swiss data protection law. Icontel AG allows itself the
processing of personal data based on the consent of the data subjects.
Collection of general information
When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files)
includes the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider and
similar information. This is exclusively information which does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.
This information is technically necessary to correctly deliver the content you have requested from websites and is
mandatory when using the Internet. Anonymous information of this kind is statistically evaluated by us to optimize our
Internet presence and the technology behind it.

possibility) in the future, we may disclose your personal data to the (future) new owners of the company or society.
Protection of your Data
The data that we process is treated confidentially and protected against loss and manipulation as well as against
unauthorized access by third parties by means of suitable technical and organizational measures. Your data is stored
exclusively on servers in Switzerland.
If you suspect that your personal information has been misused, lost or accessed by unauthorized persons, please let us
know as soon as possible.
Duration of Storage / Revocation of Consent
We process and store your data until you revoke your consent to the storage or further processing of the data. If you do so,
we will delete your personal information from our systems unless we are required by law or other regulations to keep it
(for example, because you have a request from a tax authority or the information is required relating to an anticipated
lawsuit).
Privacy Rights
Under certain conditions you can assert your data protection rights against us:
Right to revoke consent
If you have given your consent for certain types of processing activities, you can revoke this consent at any time with
effect for the future. However, this revocation does not affect the legality of the processing prior to the revocation of your
consent or insofar as the processing can be justified on another legal basis.
Right to Information
You have the right pursuant to Art. 15 DSGVO to receive information from us about your data stored by us.
Right to Rectify
At your request, we will correct the data stored about you in accordance with Art. 16 DSGVO if it is inaccurate or incorrect.
Right of Deletion
If you wish, we will delete your data in accordance with the principles of Art. 17 DSGVO, provided that other legal
regulations (e.g. statutory retention obligations) or a predominant interest on our part (e.g. in defense of our rights and
claims) do not conflict with this.
Right to Restrict Editing or Blocking
You may request us to restrict the processing of your data, considering the requirements of Art. 18 DSGVO.
Right of objection
You may also object to the processing of your data in accordance with Art. 21 DSGVO. This right of objection exists in the
event of certain reasons arising from your particular situation. In this case, we will no longer process your data unless we
are legally entitled to reject your objection. However, any objection to advertising measures is mandatory for us and we
may no longer process your data for these purposes.
If you have given your consent for advertising measures and no longer wish to receive these advertising measures, you
must revoke your consent.
Right to Data Transferability
You also have the right to receive your data in a structured, common and machine-readable format in accordance with the
regulations of Art. 20 DSGVO or to transmit them to a third party.
Right of Appeal to the Data Protection Authority
You also have a right of appeal to any competent data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 DSGVO). However, we
recommend that you always address a complaint to our data protection officer first, so that we can resolve your request
as quickly and customer-oriented as possible.
For a quick processing we ask you to send your applications for the exercise of your rights in writing to Icontel AG:
SSL-Encryption
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (for example SSL)
via HTTPS.

We reserve the right to occasionally adapt this data protection guideline so that it always complies with current legal
requirements or to implement changes to our services in the data protection guideline, for example when introducing new
services. The current data protection guideline published on this website and mobile application applies in each case.
